1994. The world is about to change. The first truly democratic election in South Africa’s history is about to unite Nelson Mandela’s rainbow nation at the ballot box. And, across the world, those in exile, those who could not return home, those who would not return home, wait. Watch and wait . . .
London. Martin O’Malley isn’t one of those watching and waiting. He is too busy trying to figure out if Germaine Spencer really is the girl for him and why his best friend is intent on ruining every relationship he gets involved in. And then . . . And then Germaine is pregnant and suddenly the world really has changed for Martin O’Malley.
South Africa. A land of opportunity. A place where a young black man with an MSc from the London School of Economics could have it all, would have it all. But what does Martin O’Malley, London born and bred with an Irish surname, really know about his mother’s country? His motherland. A land he has never seen.
FEATURING EXCITING AND ACCESSIBLE LEARNING RESOURCES, BRINGING THIS
INCREDIBLE TRUE STORY TO LIFE
JOHANNESBURG. MARCH 1961.
Thirty-one activists are on trial for treason. Among their number is
Nelson Mandela, a rising star of the resistance movement and one of the
biggest threats to the South African government and their racist system
of apartheid. To everyone’s surprise, they are found not guilty. But
rather than relish his newfound freedom, Nelson disappears.
With this, the incredible true story of Nelson Mandela’s life on the
run begins. For months, he is an outlaw, the police and secret services
hunting him in vain, living under new identities and separated from his
young family. His mission? To set up armed resistance to apartheid, and
in doing so change the course of history.
